Working-age services
Social services for people of working age
Services for people of working age are provided for adults and families aged 18 to 64 living in the Siun sote area. We will help you when you need support, guidance and counselling in different everyday situations.
Social work and social guidance provide customers support for making changes. Among other things, the aim of making changes is to reinforce the customer's well-being, independent coping, and life management, and to reduce vulnerability.
A package of social support and social services to meet your needs will be built together with a social worker or social counsellor.
You can contact the services for example if you or someone close to you are experiencing
- difficulties in coping with everyday life
- difficulties in moving forward in life due to prolonged unemployment or reduced ability to work
- mental health or substance abuse problems
- housing problems or if you do not have a place to stay
- a need for guidance and counselling related to social security or other social services
- a sudden crisis or a violent experience
- financial problems.
Services for people of working age include
- guidance and counselling
- discussion and support
- rehabilitative work activities
- services for the homeless
- supplementary and preventive social assistance
- financial intermediation account service
- social lending
- social emergency and crisis services.
How to receive services
